[ILUG] Babcock and Brown nearly defunct

[Gary Pigott]

Whatever about the efficiency of government management, at least there would 
be an obligation to operate the business in the public good, which is better 
than the current IPO > MBO > debt transfer debacle. Eircom since 
privatisation has only served to make money for investors and saddle Eircom 
with so much debt that it can't afford to upgrade it's infrastructure any 
more.
